American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 124 Graduation Party

June is graduation season for American high schools.

High school students are officially transitioning from teenagers to adults, and they are celebrating this time of plenty, though their circumstances vary greatly.

Some people revel for a few days before worrying about their future livelihood, while others ponder which university to attend.

For some, their parents have already prepared everything for them, allowing them to truly experience the best days of their lives during this time when they don't have to take responsibility.

The most relieved among them are probably the high school superheroes, like Peter Parker, who, after working shifts and even non-stop, can finally sleep in in the morning or any other time.

Li Buying was in a similar situation to him at this time, and after leaving school, she enjoyed a very relaxed period of time.

He has recently been considering whether or not to go to university. Although he was a university student in his previous life, continuing his studies in the United States seems a bit dangerous. Rather than going to university now, he might as well wait until everything is basically settled before quietly getting his diploma.

"I've already started doing things that save and disrupt the world, and now I still have to think about going to university, sigh..."

Li Buying sighed slightly at her own petty thoughts, opened a can of cola and poured it into her mouth.

About half a month has passed since I took Professor X and Magneto to the island with life, and everything has been normal during this time.

Every day, he did the same thing as before: fight the elite monsters spawned by the gangsters, and at the same time observe the Hand and the Zodiac, preparing to map them out in a while.

Speaking of those gang leaders, it's as if they were fabricated. After his long-term crackdown, even though fewer people have inherited the titles haphazardly, there are still some who dare to do it.

However, some people are currently being given the title of leader, but they are not actually in power. In short, they are stand-ins, which can be seen as a way for those leaders to try to fight against Li Buying.

Unfortunately, the system's judgment is based on the actual ruler, so their resistance is useless. Even though some alien weapons that have fallen into the sky have slightly increased their strength, they are still easily killed by him.

Li Buying casually tossed the bottle into the trash can, got up, stretched, and opened his phone. Several messages caught his attention.

One is today's university gala, which students are required to attend; the other is that Norman Osborne, chairman of the Auschwitz Group, seems to have been attacked by the entire board of directors and has therefore lost his position.

Is the Green Goblin about to be released?

Li Buying rubbed her fingers together, took a chocolate bar, and put it in her mouth, preparing to catch the Green Goblin when he came out, and then try out another fusion function of Tiger Power.

If they can still be separated using the power of the tiger after fusion, then let's try to figure out what Norman Osborn will become after dealing with Green Goblin's consciousness.

……

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the moonlight in the sky is blocked by neon lights. Li Buying, dressed in a suit, blends into the crowd at the graduation ball, using assassin techniques to minimize her presence.

He sat at the bar counter that had been booked, hoping to kill time for a while and then hurry back. He had always been reluctant to participate in these kinds of group activities.

Unexpectedly, even though he was hidden so well, someone still saw him.

On the other side of the ball, an exceptionally beautiful young woman was surrounded by a large group of boys and girls. She smiled and chatted with them in the center of the crowd, but a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

And an inexplicable appetite.

It seems that in her eyes, these people were not human beings on par with her, but simply food.

This look was completely subconscious. After struggling for a moment, she regained her composure and continued to talk to everyone with a smile, but her gaze would occasionally sweep across the entire scene of the school party.

Suddenly, her gaze froze, fixed on a boy at the bar, and she subconsciously licked her lips.

"Oh, I suddenly realized I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."

The girl said goodbye to these people who thought they were her friends, then quickly walked over to the boy, smiling as she said, "Hello, may I sit here?"

Hearing the cheerful voice, Li Buying turned around.

What came into view was a European girl with long black hair that reached her waist. The faint purple in her pupils seemed to swirl and attract his attention. She also wore glasses, which made her look refined and cultured.

Turning her gaze away, Li Buying smiled at the beautiful young woman: "Of course, please sit down."

Superhero? Or supervillain?

In the Marvel universe, the hair and eye colors of ordinary people are still quite normal. Only those with special abilities will have unusual hair and eye colors.

As she pondered the girl's identity, Li Buying picked up her juice and took a sip. Suddenly, she gripped the glass tightly, her pupils contracting sharply.

His spider-sense activated for a fleeting moment, and it seemed as if some extremely terrifying monster had suddenly glanced at him, but then the spider-sense stopped working, as if it had just been an illusion.

What just happened?

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Li Buying's forehead. He looked toward the source of the danger. The purple-eyed girl smiled as she ordered a drink and smiled back when she noticed his gaze.

is her?

Subconsciously swallowing, Li Buying was already prepared to take out all three pieces of equipment she was wearing. Maintaining a calm expression, she asked:

"Excuse me, can we get to know each other?"

"Oh, that's exactly why I came here~."

Upon hearing Li Buying say that he wanted to get to know her first, the girl revealed an extremely charming smile, picked up her cup and clinked it with his: "I am Galacta, Galacta Galan."

"Maggie Los, of course, her Chinese name is Li Buying."

Recalling the name, he couldn't find the girl's identity from his limited Marvel knowledge. At that moment, Ganata leaned forward and took a deep breath as if making a subconscious movement.

It was a very tempting action, but to Li Buying, who was on guard, it looked more like someone taking a deep breath and inhaling the aroma of the food in front of them before eating.

Vampires? Or something else? Are vampires really that powerful?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought you smelled really nice, Mr. Maggie. What perfume are you wearing?"

"No, I haven't used perfume. It's probably just the scent of shampoo and shower gel."

Li Buying acted very much like a straight man; he couldn't be anything but. He didn't know anything about the person in front of him. It wasn't impossible that she was some kind of deity in disguise. He was just afraid that she would suddenly start a fight with him.

However, to Li Buying's horror, the scene she had envisioned did not appear. Although this Miss Ganata sometimes exuded a dangerous aura, her spider sense was only triggered once.

She seemed to genuinely mean no harm; those actions were merely subconscious.
